The effect of GRF on the EEG sleep of normal males

Sleep. 1991 Feb;14(1):87-8.

Abstract

The administration of GRF in young men either before sleep onset or coinciding with sleep onset leads to an immediate significant increase in GH secretion. These increases were not associated with major alterations in sleep including slow-wave sleep.
